Israeli security agencies disclosed that military prosecutors filed indictments against two Palestinians from the Nablus area over an alleged plot to assassinate National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. According to the investigation, the two gathered firearms and ammunition, trained and recruited others after beginning their activity in late 2023. Prosecutors allege they discussed luring Ben Gvir to an attack scene in 2024 and later considered using an explosive drone, seeking drone parts from China. The two remain in custody while the proceedings continue. These allegations are presented in the indictments and have not been adjudicated.
